As many people have mentioned, a terrorist organization would have claimed it already. After all, if something is a terrorist attack and no one knows it, it doesnt terrorize anyone.
Furthermore, the two countries involved, Brazil and France, have been fairly critical of the war on terror, so I guess the US and Britain would actually have more of a vested interest to make it known publicly as quickly as possible if this was the case.

I don't get it.

The problem with that is that this airplane was over 700 miles away from any coast. No signal for a cell, etc.
